Webex configuration on Ubuntu 15.10 Wily WereWolf

I had to go through some additional package installations on Ubuntu 15.10 to get the webex client working from a FireFox browser.

Even though I was getting prompted to install the plugin and the plugin got installed, and i was getting to the Webex screen, I was unable to view the screens being presented via Webex.

You can find the list of missing libraries by

Open a terminal with a command line prompt

cd .webex

cd 1524 (Or whatever your directory is named)

ldd *.so | grep -i ‘not found’
